TA'd that my local pharmacy, where the staff are consistently lovely, wanted to charge me €96 for a medicine. I made a few calls and one of the chain pharmacies said the exact same medicine would be €74. Some people would be TH about that saving but I genuinely want to support smaller businesses and hadn't realised (because I don't get that much medicine) that the pharmacy industry seems to be just like the shop/supermarket industry with the big players gradually squeezing out all the small ones by substantial price undercutting.

With price differences like this, however, it's just not justifiable to keep my account with the smaller pharmacy (to claim the tax and health insurance back at the end of the year it's handy to stick with a single pharmacy). If every other sector of society replicates retail, we'll each be working for some massive conglomerate in a couple of decades and small independent businesses will be all but dead. Not good.

Boots and Sam McCauleys are cheapest by a long shot.
I'm on a lorry load of meds and have always found independently owned small pharmacies substantially more expensive. One example I'll give is my Seretide inhaler, €75 in Boots, €127 in an independently owned pharmacy nearby to Boots. And the same independently owned pharmacy are VERY secretive about their pricing, whereas Boots just tell you straight out.
Also, when I go into Boots to get all my drugs every month, I also get to buy loads of lovely beauty supplies, which is a silver lining to the big bag of drugs.

Jesus I've put on loads of weight the last few weeks, caught a glimpse of myself in the shop window and thought I looked like a huge blimp

Out of pure desperation I had to get up and take an antihistamine at 2am. I am mangled beyond belief now, would sleep on the washing line. Is it bedtime yet ?

Boom_Bap · 01-09-2017 09:23AM

There was f*ck all bread left for the lunches this morning. The kids got great lunches, I have the crust off a loaf with a slice of ham on it.
Lunch is going to suck today for me. I'm already upset by it.

My TA today is that I normally finish work at 12.30 on a Friday and after a particularly busy week was looking forward to finishing today. My Boss has asked me to stay till 5. Sigh. I could say no....... but I won't.

SusieBlue · 01-09-2017 09:49AM

Picked up a family size sharing bag of crisps last night. I promised myself I'd have a couple and then make a nice dinner. Had two glasses of wine too, because it was Thursday. Ended up eating the whole feckin bag. Felt so guilty I decided to forego dinner as punishment. Spent the rest of the evening with a sore tummy from all the crap food and wine. Why do I do this to myself

I can't sleep with hay fever at the moment. I'm wrecked all day and even with my medication I'm still getting the symptoms.
I went into a meeting in work on monday and the first thing someone said was "Are you sick? You look like ****"

LadyMacBeth_ · 01-09-2017 10:48AM

Well my lungs have reached a new low, they are functioning at 47%. Starting two weeks of IV antibiotics, ugh.

retro:electro · 01-09-2017 10:52AM

Had a conversation with a girl at work about sleep. I was telling her it's the norm for me to wake maybe 3 or four times a night. Maybe once to pee and then another my body just wakes for whatever reason, but I always fall back to sleep quickly. She told me this isn't normal and once her head hits the pillow she's out cold until the morning! What! I'm actually shocked. I thought everyone slept the way I do? So some people actually never wake at all through the night?!! No wonder I'm forever knackered! TA'd!

ohnonotgmail · 01-09-2017 11:00AM

TA'd that i'm starving and the apple i've finished just wont keep me going until lunchtime.

Winterlong · 01-09-2017 11:17AM

It's midday and already I am salivating at the thought of the post big night out food I will be eating in about 14 hours. Looking forward to that almost more than the alcohol and company.

OldNotWIse · 01-09-2017 11:48AM

"Irish comedian reveals she doesn't want kids" - this is NOT news. Not wanting kids is NOT a disease. It is NOT a shocker and it is no more reportable than wanting kids. Irish media and society in general needs to stop bullying women into feeling like they are somehow inferior or weird if they choose not procreate. This is 2017 ffs.

OldNotWIse · 01-09-2017 11:56AM

Normally take codeine for those days of the month when women can rollerblade, parachute etc. and would only need them for days 1 and 2. Grand - no habit forming here! This month however in the run up to bungee jumping time, I've had various bits of me in pain so I've had to take codeine in the days leading up to super skating girl time. So now I've been on codeine for six days and I'm feeling trippy. I'm terrified I will become dependent on it. :eek:

When I catch myself laughing at stupid, naff jokes at team meetings because it is expected and then the self-loathing that creeps in when I realize I have become what I despise.

Bredabe · 01-09-2017 12:15PM

A few weeks ago I had a chat with a colleague from a different department, that I would never normally see. We were talking about our mutual boss. Last weekend at the leaving do's, I waved at him at the start of the night.
Today I hear that he thinks I fancy him!
TA'ed that once normal interactions between colleagues are now sexualised in peoples minds.

Boom_Bap · 01-09-2017 12:18PM

Why in an office surrounded by people would you open a bag of Cheese Popcorn and munch away on them.

Actually, f*ck that, why would a human being purchase Cheese Popcorn.

The only thing more grumpy than a TA thread - a TA thread with menstrually synced women

Go now!

TA trying to apply myself to work but feel giddy with excitement that the weekend is coming.

Also TA the weekend is shaping up to be another f*cking spinster omnibus.

TA the quippy twenty year old in my local store last Saturday night asking if it was a night in when I paid for my shiraz and a bale of briquettes. "No", I said, "I'm having a f*cking barbeque" :mad:

TA at the twenty yr old in ONW's shop. The cheeky pup

Trying to tear my new tax disc along the perforations!

quickbeam · 01-09-2017 02:56PM

Being subjected to rounding of the prices at shops. I seem to end rounding up more than rounding down, but fair enough, I get why it's done. But then today, at a certain shop, they rounded up by 1c, and gave me my 5c change in 1c and 2c coins!!! It's one thing or another, fu(kers!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

erica74 · 01-09-2017 03:11PM

First time in 6 years I haven't gone to EP. Feeling murderous.
